Facts
At the moment, the technology of roadside drug testing is not as advanced as that of breathalysing for alcohol. Despite this, improvements are being made and once tests are available that can give accurate and immediate information on all the illegal drugs an individual may have used, they need to be implemented as part of a roadside testing campaign. In addition there is an urgent need to improve the availability of affordable transport late at night when clubs close. If the only choice is between an expensive taxi or driving your own car after having used illegal drugs, it can hardly be that surprising if many young people choose the latter. Many of the young people interviewed did not know the legal position regarding drug- driving. There is a clear need then to provide much wider information on the legal consequences of drug-driving. Finally, we need to try and change public attitudes towards drugs and driving. Over the last few years there has been a dramatic reduction in the numbers of people arrested for drink-driving. Indeed, driving under the influence of alcohol has come to be seen as socially unacceptable. The same needs to happen in relation to illegal drug use. Patients who needs help with their alcohol problems can be treated in detoxification programs, on an in or outpatient basis. Inpatients reside at the program�s facility and are treated and monitored 24 hours a day by medical professionals. Outpatient programs are best for people who work, have social support systems and are able to abstain from using for up to 72 hours. Outpatient programs work by allowing the patient to reside at home and attend program meetings several times a week. The hallucinatory potential of many controlled substance analogs (MDMA, GHB, ketamine, PCP) may trigger traumatic emotional episodes in many users. While there is little evidence to support the claim that drug use can cause long-term psychotic or schizophrenic behaviors, individuals with an underlying mental condition may find their experimentation with so-called designer drugs triggers an outbreak of symptoms associated with mental illness. Anecdotal evidence suggests that psychotic breaks and schizophrenia-like symptoms are far more frequent with heavy or regular dissociative anesthetic use (including ketamine and PCP). Methamphetamine use and production also have social impacts on our communities. Communities can become vulnerable to petty crime, social disorder, associated risks to health, increases in violence and increases in large scale labs and drug trafficking. |
Sobriety
Sobriety means the moderation in or abstinence from consumption of alcoholic liquor or use of drugs. When an individual with an addiction problem enters drug rehabilitation, their main goal is to attain long term sobriety. Unfortunately, sometimes drug addicts and alcoholics find they are able to sustain short periods of sobriety followed by a drug or alcohol relapse. This is why attending a drug or alcohol rehab will help the individual maintain their focus on sobriety. Often, it is only by getting help that individuals with severe drug addiction problems are able to achieve lasting sobriety.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a pattern of repeated drug taking that usually results in tolerance (the need for greater amounts of the drug to achieve the same effect), withdrawal (physical and cognitive effects when drug use declines or stops), and compulsive drug taking behavior (drug taking that persists despite efforts to reduce intake and despite problems with family, friends, and work). Drug addiction encompasses a diverse range of drugs (such as alcohol, cannabis, amphetamines, and cocaine) and is caused by many different factors.
Withdrawal
Withdrawal is what happens when a person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol discontinues use. There are numerous symptoms that take place both physically and emotionally when an addicted individual stops using. Withdrawal can last a few days to a few weeks and may include nausea or vomiting, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety. Keep in mind; this only occurs if a person has regular, heavy use of a drug or alcohol. Withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable without professional help. Treatment for withdrawal from alcohol or drugs may require a medical professional to be present. Drug and alcohol rehabilitation is often the best way to overcome withdrawal and its symptoms as well as recovery from drug addiction.
Drug Side Effects
Drug addiction and abuse comes with a heavy price. There are drastic drug side effects associated with drug misuse and abuse. Drug side effects from legal and illegal drugs can range from mild itching to comas and death. In addition to the physical drug side effects mentioned, there are many psychological drug side effects of drug abuse; the most serious being drug addiction and overdose.
Addiction Treatment
Addiction treatment is needed when an individual finds that they have developed a drug or alcohol addiction which they are not able to successful end on their own. With the help of addiction treatment, addicted individual can get help to control their drug taking behavior and live happy and successful lives. There are several addiction treatment options available for drug and alcohol addiction. Some of these options include self-help groups, counseling, drug rehabilitation programs (in and out-patient), and residential treatment facilities. Each of these differ
in their aims and outcomes and elements of these addiction treatment options are often
combined.
